  • Star Wars The Black Series 58 Rey (Island Journey) Review
    I got my hands on my first new Black Series figure of 2018! And it's a good start! But check out the rest of my review... I worked super hard on it just to be spoiled by this description. I'm bad at this.

    Great one dude. Glad hasbro is kicking ass in the face department. I wish they include some interchangeable heads and hands. They're the same price of marvel legends! Com'on hasbro!

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 6 lety

      Yes! There need to be more heads. And more hands.

    I got the Jedi Training Rey, Ep. 7 Kylo Ren (masked), Ep. 8 Kylo Ren (unmasked), and my personal favorite and very first Black Series figure 40th anniversary Darth Vader, who is still my favorite one out the bunch.

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 6 lety

      That Vader was my number 1 figure of 2017. Such a good figure.

    Hey Mike! What's up? Glad Hasbro is pumping out more figs, and that you are making more reviews. You almost have enough Reys to recreate the scene from episode 8 when she goes into the dark hole on the island and snaps her fingers!

    I think Rey is awesome, humble and cool character. How can anyone wouldn't love her? The sculpt is really amazing! This is a real redemption from Hasbro. I have the first version of Rey and dam that figure, it looks really crappy. I'm really on this figure. I'm also eager to get the new version of Anakin and Padme head sculpt. Great video btw. I'm subscribing. I always like to see reviews before buying and you do it pretty cool and fun to watch.

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 5 lety +2

      i completely agree with you on Rey. I'm looking forward to the new Padme.

  • @_Vegtio_72322
    @_Vegtio_72322 Před 6 lety +3

    I like Rey, and the rest of the black series but I wish they'd make a 6" Galen Marek(Force unleashed was one of my childhood games aside from the original BF 1 and 2) (I also know they made a 3.75" starkiller but you can get so much detail in a six inch black series figure)

    • @Dre-bu8bz
      @Dre-bu8bz Před 6 lety +1

      _ Raven _ yo maybe for a hasbro fan vote? Fingers crossed👍😬

    • @_Vegtio_72322
      @_Vegtio_72322 Před 6 lety +1

      Dre 2277 hopefully, I was planning on buying a starkiller but the secondary markets are selling way more than what its supposed to cost so I do hope we get that vote

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 6 lety

      The next fan vote I think Galen Marek would be a great choice to win.

    • @_Vegtio_72322
      @_Vegtio_72322 Před 6 lety

      Mike Kaess agreed, honestly I wouldn't mind any different troopers like an arc trooper because I think they have done pretty much every stormtrooper aside from the scout trooper I think but Galen marek I would buy as soon as I could get a chance because I mean with the technology they are using now they could get his face just right and thinking of that brings a tear to my eye sadly if they don't than that'd be pretty upsetting

    • @Dre-bu8bz
      @Dre-bu8bz Před 6 lety

      _ Raven _ yes in the six inch scale that would be awesome. The only question would be what outfit he would have. So many costumes to choose from

    Yep she's a good figure :) enjoyed the review. Oh in case anyone missed toysrus are clearing out with a big sale hoping to score the figures I missed if the prices are right, bummer about the company going under. Just thought I'd mention it if it helps anyone out.

There were a empire death star dude with a helmet 40th anniversary for 30€ between lots of leia but I left him, not really a good price/character. That's it !

    With the new face tech going on, I really hope they stop giving us 5 or 6 versions of the main characters and start focusing on all the others we have nothing for.... I don't want 4 Kylo Rens or 6 Young Solo's.
    Also.... everything seems to be "Down stairs.." Interdasting....

    I missed this, I used to rewatch this whilst posing around my figure. Too bad my ex wanted her & the unmasked Kylo so I gave it to her as a gift and I don't know if she threw all the things I gave her like she threatened to do or if she gave em back along with some of the things I asked her to look over when I left my home country, also Hi Mike
    I'm Paul from Facebook
    I got real excited when I saw yer name at the black series group 🙏🏽

  • @BreesNOAints9
    @BreesNOAints9 Před 6 lety +1

    I really dig this figure. I bought another Rey(My Black Series Rey's can now almost have full 5 on 5 hoops scrimmages now) specifically to stand on the base that came with the Target exclusive Old Man Luke. Maybe I'm incompetent but I absolutely cannot get her to stand on that base for very long. Every day I come home and she's facedown on the shelf.

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 6 lety

      I didn’t have a hard time getting her to stand on mine, but the Krait Rey will not stand on her Krait base for anything.

    • @BreesNOAints9
      @BreesNOAints9 Před 6 lety

      Mike Kaess I have the exact opposite situation. Lol. Krait Rey is unshakeable. Island Rey apparently has equilibrium issues.

  • @Helderking21
    @Helderking21 Před 6 lety +13

    In my opinion the last Jedi wasn’t that bad I️ get there was some horrible scene like the canto bight scene and the Superman Leia thing it was cool to finally see Leia do something cool. But good video mike

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 6 lety +3

      I agree that the Leia seen felt a little silly. But I agree with you, it was cool to see Leia actually do something in a movie with the force.

  • @TheTrognation
    @TheTrognation Před 6 lety +1

    I hoped that Hasbro would have made -better Rey- Jaina's elbow technology standard, since it had the posability of an actual human's arm without compromising the aesthetics with double joints and pins. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to her arrival.

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 6 lety

      I agree. Janina’s articulation was amazing. They really should make that the standard.

    I like episode eight and Rey. I didn't pick this figure up because I've gotten kind of selective with the Black Series figures. I've fallen down the Figuarts hole... God help me. BTW, thanks for renewing my interest in Transformers with your Bots and Shots show. My Maketoys Howling Meteor should be here tomorrow, what's your opinion on that one?

    Dude, I had the exact same crit on this one regarding the arm gloves! My guess is they re-used the mold from her previous Jakku version, but seems odd they'd try to save just a tiny bit of cash given everything else they did on it. Otherwise it's an awesome figure, perhaps the best Rey out there! I'm trying to figure out a way to mod the gloves with some really thin felt or something.

    • @MikeKaess
      @MikeKaess  Před 6 lety +1

      She is the best out there right now, but it’s a weird detail to leave out. It’s clearly to try to save money.

    • @noumenon3020
      @noumenon3020 Před 6 lety

      Agreed, and yet they included a ton of accessories including soft goods and a removable vest that's even sculpted on the inside! I'm ultimately not complaining. This one just came sooo close to being basically the perfect Black Series figure.
